Abstract

Scattered through the field of elementary mathematics there are a number of conics which have received names. It is the purpose of this paper to group them together for reference. In the list that follows, the most common method of defining the curve is given and the given references are not necessarily the earliest reference. Articles have been selected as far as possible because they give a good discussion of the curve.
